After a year of research to guide TAF's regional expansion efforts, we present the "Greenhouse Gas Reduction – Action and Opportunity in the GTHA" report. With this guide, we're excited to continue advancing climate action in the region.

TAF teamed up with ecobee on the TowerWise program to improve resident comfort, reduce emissions, and identify best practices in retrofits across the Greater Toronto and Hamilton area. The newly installed smart thermostats make intelligent heating and cooling decisions to reduce energy waste and offer real-time insights to identify other opportunities for future improvements.

The Toronto Green Standard is a key component in achieving the City’s TransformTO climate action plan. The updated standard supports the Toronto’s Zero Emissions Buildings Framework, which was developed in partnership with The Atmospheric Fund.

From full funding for TransformTO to community benefits, 2018 will be a critical year for climate action in the GTHA. Our January e-news also includes a new TAF report on financing barriers for energy efficiency retrofits and our joint submission on Metrolinx's draft Regional Transportation Plan.

Across four demonstration sites, the new phase of TAF’s TowerWise retrofit project will show that deep energy savings of 40 per cent are financially and technically feasible - thanks to funding from IESO and Natural Resources Canada.

Following the announcement of the new $9-million phase, Ontario Construction Report profiled TAF’s trailblazing TowerWise retrofit program, with new energy and emission targets that align closely with TransformTO.
